[quote=Anonymous]Funny thing about trolling is that it is so easy to be affective. Undercut people’s insecurities and watch the pithy responses roll in.  Now granted the responses will say that they don’t care but me thinks they protest too much. The people who really don’t care don’t bother.

I guess the core of the entire thread is a debate on if the DCC and northern parts of MoCo are trending up or down. If they are quality places currently is of course completely subjective based on people’s standards but the data is clear that poverty and Immigration are exploding in certain areas while wealth is concentrating in increasingly select areas. Now if these are harbingers for even worse declines in QOL? Most historical trends would point to yes similar to the African American exodus out of the south that ravaged many northern neighborhoods when their poverty mixed with retaliatory social policy by their neighbors and displaced whites. While there are some major differences in trends since this boom coincides with a rebaselining of real estate prices and a shift back to urban from suburban, the same social backlash seems consistent if one looks at the vitriol and animosity directed towards immigrants currently.

If I had to guess as poverty moves in and is simultaneously displaced from DC proper, new concentrationed areas of poverty will emerge. The trends may be masked by all real estate prices rising but I would watch the trends very closely. There are historical points where influxes of massive amounts of new poor people cause too many problems historically tied to poverty that people move out. It will happen gradually [/quote]
